CYBERSYNDICATE CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. no systemic abuse such as sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia,
transphobia, xenophobia, etc. when it comes to defining what constitutes
"systemic abuse", the opinions of the marginalized are given priority
at all times
2. no harassment. harassment campaigns may not be spread here, even
against "valid" targets; this includes doxxing and dogpiling. if you
must call someone out, do it elsewhere and link it here
3. CW sexually explicit content this includes images and text. all
sexually explicit images must exclusively involve consent-capable
adults. (as in, if asked whether they'd like to pose for an adult photo,
they would be capable of responding "yes", and that would be able to
stand up in court of law)
4. this is an 18+ space. do not join or request access if you are not 18
years of age or over. we will remove accounts that are not 18+
accordingly. this is for the safety of our mod/admin team and users
5. no unfocused misandry. this is due to its impact on non-binary,
genderqueer, trans, disabled, poc, queer, and otherwise marginalized
men. misandry focused at the top of the kyriarchy is not against the
rules
6. no pedophilia or zoophilia. this includes artistic depictions of characters that cannot give consent
7. consent is important in all contexts. if you’re ever unsure, ask first. use content warnings (CW's) where required
8. treat others with respect, and be respectful in kind. this instance
is meant to be a friendly, welcoming space to all who are willing to
reciprocate in helping to create that environment
9. no AI-generated artwork. please

CONTENT WARNINGS:
content warnings are a tool to enable someone to opt-into your content.
this is particularly useful when posting publicly, as opposed to
unlisted. when you post publicly, your posts are received by people from
this server and other servers that may not currently follow you
if you don't want to deal with CW's, feel free to post unlisted!
unlisted posts work just like twitter and only go to your profile and
followers and or people posts are boosted to
to use content warnings, click the CW button when composing your toots.
this will hide the main body of your toot behind a line of text text
like a subject line
-
ENFORCED CONTENT WARNINGS:
💜 nsfw/sexual discussion and imagery must be behind descriptive cw's (nudity, sex, kink discussion, etc)
💜 sensitive imagery (please use your best judgement on what content
that most other users would find sensitive, such as photos of surgeries,
abuse, war, deceased individuals, etc)
💜 please note that our sensitive media rules apply to profile photos
and headers as well. since those images cannot be hidden behind
sensitive media warnings, they are not allowed to contain content from
enforced content warnings
-
SUGGESTED CONTENT WARNINGS:
💜 discussion of overtly political (relating to elected or unelected government officials) topics
💜 triggering topics (direct discussion of rape, trauma, abuse, suicide,
transphobia, homophobia, etc). the intention is to provide a warning
for users who may not want to consume this content, not to silence users
who are sharing their negative experiences
💜 drugs or drug use
💜 advertisements for corporations
💜 "rage" posts and posts using mainly capital letters
-
SUGGESTED SENSITIVE IMAGE MARKING:
💜 eye contact images
💜 food related images
-
it's okay to ask others to CW certain topics, but it's also okay to
ignore requests for CW's. people who do not like your CW choices can
choose to mute or block you or use filters
harassing users to CW their content, as well as demanding CW's from
folks talking about their personal experiences of racism and other forms
of bigotry, is against our rules and could result in being banned
-

💜 offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression,
sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality,

WHY CYBERPUNK?
some of y'all might be wondering why i chose this name for this instance. after all, isn't a cyberpunk world a dystopia?
well the term "cyberpunk" can be used broadly to describe the type of
setting common in the genre, or even the world we live in today really
but imo it also applies to a certain spirit of rebellion typical main
characters in such a setting might exhibit, and that's what we're all
about here -- and what i mean when i say we're "putting the punk back
into cyberpunk"
anticapitalism is woven into the themes of the genre, however some might
try to water it down into nothing more than an aesthetic. cyberpunk is a
critique of the future it portrays and the paths that might lead us
there
